I Thought God Had the Last Word?

O'Reily Factor questions Dobson of Focus on the Family. "Dr. Dobson, why should homosexuals be discriminated against and not allowed to be married?"

Reply: Five thousand years of history is on the heterosexual side, and the reason why marriage has been defined heterosexually for five thousand years IS...[drum roll please]..."children".

Yup! That was it. We are right, and they are wrong because of children. Perhaps he gave a longer answer, and I missed it. Perhaps he pulled a "read my book" [he did refer to his book] so I won't tell you on national TV.

I'm sorry folks. Dobson is just as wrong here as he was in saying Mel Gibson is annointed by God and considering him a Christian.God defines marriage, and God defines the Gospel.

Perhaps evangelizing without a clear and consistent presentation of the Gospel for the last generation or so is beginning to cause many to question their Traditions. As a pastor friend of mine forwarded an e-mail which said, "if we continue to preach the whole truth" perhaps men will be truly converted.

The Spirit often uses the enemies of the faith to bring Christians to maturity. Maybe all this nonsense is a good thing? Perhaps we will finally get past the philosophical presuppositions of the world and proclaim "Let God be true and every man a liar"?
